Israel and Lebanon - Is a second front about to open up?
Is a second front about to open up? Israeli Defence Minister tells IDF they will 'very soon go into action' near border with Lebanon - sparking fears that clashes with Hezbollah could spark regional war
- Yoav Gallant said troops are being deployed to 'reinforce' Israel's northern forces
Israeli forces will 'very soon go into action' near the country's border with Lebanon, the country's defence minister has told troops, as fears mount that clashes with Hezbollah could spiral into a full-scale regional war.
Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told troops near the border with the besieged Gaza Strip that others were being deployed to Israel's north 'so the forces [there] are reinforced'.
He added that reservists would be gradually released 'to prepare and come ready' for future operations. Since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on October 7, the Lebanese-Israeli border has seen near-daily exchanges of fire between Israel's Defence Forces and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement, a Hamas ally.
It comes following reports that Israel is determined to prevent a repeat of the bloody invasion in the north of its territory, and that 'Israeli doctrine is to take the war to the other side.'

Why there are US bases in the Middle East

In recent months, these bases - ranging in size from a military outpost such as Tower 22 which was hit in Jordan, to the Al Asad air base in western Iraq - have been attacked by militias trained, funded and equipped by Iran.
There are about 3,000 US troops based in Jordan, a key US ally, and 2,500 in Iraq - there at the invitation of the Iraqi government as part of a US-led coalition to prevent a resurgence of the jihadist Islamic State group, which still has a presence there after being routed in 2017.
There are also about 900 US personnel in Syria, officially there to support its anti-IS ally the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in Syria's semi-autonomous north-east region. The Syria government opposes the US presence in its country, calling it an occupation.
The US also maintains many more bases further afield across the Middle East, including three major air bases in the Gulf and a port in Bahrain which serves as the headquarters of the US Naval Forces Central Command and the US Fifth Fleet.
Iran state media say several dead in Syria strikes
Iranian state media is reporting that several people have died and more are injured after strikes on the outskirts of Damascus in Syria.
Reports suggest the attack hit an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps site.
An Israeli military spokesman declined to comment on the explosions, when asked by the Reuters news agency.
